The giant cage

The internet in China was supposed to help democratise China but instead it has enabled the State to get an even firmer grip on its people. How has it done this? Well it has shown some pretty clever skills to bend the technology for its own purpose so it can exercise even greater control of Chinese society. You can do almost anything you like except criticise the party line at a senior level. If you do that the entire region in which you live could have its net access just turned off.
